Da Grassroots feat. Elemental – “Living Underwater”

Da Grassroots are an old-school, Canadian hip hop crew. “Living Underwater” was released on vinyl in 1995, four years before their sole album Passage Through Time. The album is completely self-produced, mostly by Mr. Attic, who created the sound for this track. Following old-school trends, “Living Underwater” contains fairly simple, but head-nod worthy production, containing scratches, loud drum kicks, looping piano/keyboard chords, and creative vocabulary and rhymes. The two other members of the group are Swiff and Mr. Murray.
